喜福会

老妇人记得多年前
The old woman remembered a swan she had bought…
在上海傻乎乎地出大价钱买♥♥了一只天鹅
many years ago in Shanghai for a foolish sum.
这只”天鹅”被小贩吹得天花乱坠
“This bird,” Boasted the market vendor…
曾经是极力伸长脖子的鸭子
“Was once a duck that stretched its neck…

后来这个女人带着天鹅漂洋过海
Then the woman and the swan sailed across an ocean…
背井离乡
many thousands of li wide…
来到了美国
stretching their necks toward America.
在路上她对天鹅轻语
On her journey she cooed to the swan…
“到了美国我要生一个像我一样的女儿
“In America I will have a daughter just like me.
但是在那里 她无需仰仗
But over there, nobody will say her worth is measured…
丈夫的鼻息度日
by the loudness of her husband’s belch.
在那里 没人会歧视她
Over there, nobody will look down on her…
因为我会让她讲一口流利的美语
because I will make her speak only perfect American English.
她会
And over there, she will
一直无忧无虑
always be too full to swallow any sorrow.
她会知晓我的苦心 因为我会赠与她这只天鹅
She will know my meaning because I will give her this swan…

但是当她踏入这块新土地
But when she arrived in the new country…
移♥民♥局官员把天鹅从她身边拿走
the immigration officials pulled the swan away from her…
这女人无奈地挥挥双臂
leaving the woman fluttering her arms…
只留有一根天鹅羽毛做念想
and with only one swan feather for a memory.
很久以来 老妇人一直想要
For a long time now, the woman had wanted…
赠予女儿这根天鹅羽毛
to give her daughter the single swan feather…
告诉她 这根羽毛看似一文不值
and tell her, “This feather may look worthless…
但却是远从千里而来
but it comes from afar and carries with it…
承载着我的一片心”
all my good intentions.”

她们想让我替代我母亲的位置

于是我面东而坐 母亲的好朋友们
So I sat down on the East, where things begin…
之间发生一切的地方
with my mother’s best friends.
我母亲成立了喜福会
My mother started the Joy Luck Club,
她在教会认识了这些妇女
having met all these women in church.
安美阿姨
Auntie An Mei…
林多阿姨
Auntie Lindo…
莺莺阿姨
Auntie Ying Ying.
30年来 她们参加宴会

输赢都有但不忘讲述最棒的故事
lost and won and told the best stories.
每周她们希望手气好
Each week they hoped to be lucky…
这个希望成为她们仅有的乐趣
and that hope was their only joy.
比起喜乐和福气 她们之间的联♥系♥
Their connection with each other had more to do with hope…

– 你牌品和你母亲像吗 – 呃 我只在大学和
– You win like your mother? – Uh, I only played once…
– 一些犹太朋友玩过一次 – 哼 犹太麻将
– with some Jewish friends in college. – Hmph! Jewish mah-jong.
不是一回事 完全不一样
Not the same thing. Entirely different.
中国麻将非常微妙
Now, Chinese mah-jong very tricky.
你必须观察所有人打出去的牌
You have to watch what everybody throw out…
然后铭记在脑中
and you keep all this in your head.
如果没人技艺精通
And if nobody play well…
就和玩犹太麻将一样 毫无战略
then the game is just like Jewish mah-jong: no strategy.
你们这些美国女孩玩中国麻将 犹太麻将
You American girls play Chinese, Jewish.
有何不同吗
What’s the difference?
她们有点担心 在我的身上她们看到了自己女儿的影子
They were worried. In me, they see their own daughters.
就像我们的母亲带到这个国度的
Just as ignorant of all the hopes and dreams…
希望和梦想一样单纯
our mothers brought to this country.
嘿 嘿 嘿 嘿 嘿 不准用中文交流
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. No talking in Chinese.
哈 不然我怎么知道你们有没有出老千
Huh? How do I know you’re not cheating?
– 我们才不会呢 – 你不知道 但是我们不会的
– We would not cheat. – You don’t know, but not we.
你不知道 但是我们是你的阿姨
You don’t know, but we are your auntie,
我们是很诚实的人
and we are very honest people.
– 我们不会欺骗你的 – 也许 也许 也许吧
– We will not cheat you. – Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe.
嘿 琼 你为什么不把这架钢琴带回家呢
Hey, June, why you not take the piano home?
你是唯一会弹奏的人啊
You only one who play.
在我九岁的时候
When I was nine years old…
我母亲那会对我的信念就是
my mother’s version of believing in me…
相信我能够大有作为
was believing that I could be anything…
成就任何她希望我成就的事
anything she wanted;
华人界最棒的钢琴奇才
the best piano prodigy this side of China.
其实我从未练习过弹琴
I never practiced.
幸运的是 庄先生并没有发觉
Lucky for me, old Mr. Chong couldn’t tell the difference.
他的双耳已经聋了很多年
He’d gone stone-deaf over the years.
我和贝多芬 我们都能在脑中欣赏音乐
Me and Beethoven, we both hear it in our head!
